This is just one of about 20-plus species of Pritchardia that grow well in southern California. There are a few species from the South Pacific that do not, but just about all the Pritchardias native to Hawaii do fine here in So Cal. Some are much rarer than others; this is one of the most common species.

A pretty robust grower, it has large, only slightly divided leaves that don't droop much, if at all. It loves water, but doesn't require a ton of it. This palm can do great in full sun near the coast but prefers some shade inland. Intense, dry heat (over 100°F) is tough on it. There are several varieties of this palm including a 'dwarf' form that has slightly bluish leaves.
